  • a threshold value can be stored in the locking device. If the amount of energy stored in the energy store falls below this threshold value, the Locking device locked either immediately or for a subsequent use of the following usage. This can ensure that, for example, a recipient of a package is not denied access to his package only because the energy of a locking device is no longer sufficient to open it. Only after the energy storage has been replaced or charged, the locking device or the receiving device is released again for use within the system. Such deactivation may also occur in the case of maintenance requirements and / or defects. Also for this purpose, corresponding threshold values for parameters to be checked can be stored and monitored.
  • the comparison of the states of the energy storage of the closing devices is performed periodically. This means that after the determination of one of the closing devices as a central control, it is checked regularly whether another closing device would not be suitable for the function as a central control due to the state of its energy store. If it is determined in a subsequent comparison that another energy store contains a greater amount of energy than that of the respective central locking control device, it is automatically possible to switch to the respective other closing device as the central control within the system. In this context or in addition it can be provided that the closing devices periodically send a life signal.
  • each serving as a central control locking device determine whether the respective locking device is still available or whether it has disabled itself, for example, due to a shortfall of a predetermined amount of energy in the energy storage.
  • the closing devices may periodically send signals such as the state of the closing device (open or closed), the size of the receiving device equipped with the closing device, and / or the like.
